Need something to pass the time through the upcoming bleak winter months? How about some random D-list reality shows you can watch online? There is something oddly addictive about getting sucked into the circa 2007 life crises of random semi-celebrities.

Let's face it: Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are the best thing to ever happen to the dysfunctional treasure trove that is Kardashian family. They just may be the best thing to happen to reality television ever: they radiate from the screen with what can only be described as "sparkle," bringing with them their endless capacity for…

I've written before about my obsession with "House Hunters" and "House Hunters International," how I watch approximately three episodes per day, how much I love to hate it, how I always end up yelling at the TV like a crotchety old man because the subjects of the show tend to talk about paint…

Surviving relatives of the late Whitney Houston -- her daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown and mom Cissy Houston -- are getting their own Lifetime reality show, "The Houston Family Chronicles." No word yet on how Bobbi Kristina's alleged drug problem or her boyfriend/"adopted brother" Nick Gordan will factor in, if at…

The success of Bravo's "The Rachel Zoe Project" has proven that people want a behind-the-scenes look into the fashion industry that goes beyond a bunch of designers competing to show at fashion week. Oxygen has answered this call with "House of Glam," which features the team at The B. Lynn Group, an image consulting agency…

Mothers and daughters tend to share many things. Facial features. Mannerisms. Bad style? Yes, that too. But WeTV is trying to change that with a new makeover show. "You're Wearing That?" features mothers and daughters who make over each other for a special event. These women get help from personal stylist and host…

R&B singer Monica has been virtually MIA since releasing The Makings of Me, her worst-selling album to date, in Oct. 2006. She's popped up here and there, making cameos at Atlanta-based events and on reality shows like "Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is," but in the fast-moving music industry, this hasn't been enough…

Michael Jackson did his best to shield his three children, Prince, Paris, and Blanket, from prying eyes and the media, even when dangling an infant Blanket over a balcony railing. When he was alive they often wore scarves or masks in public. So, I wonder how he would feel about his children appearing i…

"Southern Belles: Louisville" premieres tonight on SOAPNet at 10 p.m. At first, I thought this show would be a knockoff "Real Housewives" because some of the same themes come up -- breasts, men, wealth, and ambition. But after watching a clip of Shea, Hadley, and Emily on "The View" today, I realized that "Southern Belles"…

Bravo decided to combine "Gossip Girl" and "The Real Housewives of New York City," and the result is "NYC Prep." On this reality show, which premieres June 23, cameras will follow five wealthy teens as they navigate Manhattan's social scene, shop, apply for college, and work on charity events. They lead lives unfamiliar…

Simply Irresistible

Taking a page out of those girls you went to high school with who can't stop smugly posting every detail of their perfect lives on Facebook, Lady Gaga shaded America's youngest grandma Taylor Swift just perfectly on Twitter yesterday. It all started when Jaime King's unborn child's godmother tweeted about Gaga, using the preferred…

Oh look, it's hottest DILF alive, Ryan Gosling, making a rare appearance in public grabbing lunch in LA today. And what's that I see? In addition to his perfectly worn T-shirt (that collar is stretched just so), hoodie and leather jacket, the Gos is rocking a few faint letters on his knuckles, spelling out the…
